The decapitated head of a married French mother of three, Assia Matoug, was discovered in a Parisian park this week.
Her body parts were stuffed in two garbage bags and left in Buttes-Chaumont Park, which is known as a filming location for crime series and films, including “Emily in Paris.” According to sources close to the investigation, Ms. Matoug’s husband, Youcef Matoug, took six days to report her missing. Mr. Matoug claims he was in a state of shock and too overcome with grief to speak to police earlier.
The murder investigation into Ms. Matoug’s death has entered its fourth day, with no suspects identified. Her mobile phone was turned off when she went missing from her family home in Montreuil, a northeast suburb of the French capital, on January 31st. Mr. Matoug is said to be “in a state of great distress” while looking after the couple’s three children, aged eight, 14, and 17.
